Support for SwitchingDo you have a question about Linux, OpenOffice.org, or another popular Microsoft alternative? Or are you a user of some of these alternatives who wants to help out new and potential users? Visit our support forums to post or answer questions. We can't guarantee that somebody will help you, but it may be worth a shot.

Reference RecommendationsPost recommendations for books or websites that detail why or how Microsoft should be avoided. Note that recommendations may be reposted on the main KMFMS site and affiliate information may be added or changed in the reposted version (though the original information will be retained in the forum so long as the post does not lead to other editing or moderation).

Open DiscussionDiscuss everything regarding Microsoft which doesn't fall into the above categories. Please note that posts advocating Microsoft are likely to be removed or moderated in order to prevent astro-turf. Microsoft has a multi-billion dollar cash horde that they can use for their own marketing, so they don't need to use these forums to promote themselves.
